Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Business:

As used herein, the terms "PRA Group," "the Company," or similar terms refer to PRA Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

PRA Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, is a global financial and business services company with operations in the Americas and Europe. The Company's primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans. The Company also provides the following fee-based services: class action claims recovery services and purchases; servicing of consumer bankruptcy accounts in the United States ("U.S."); and, to a lesser extent, contingent collections of nonperforming loans in Europe and South America.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the accounts of all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Under the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 280 "Segment Reporting" ("ASC 280"), the Company has determined that it has several operating segments that meet the aggregation criteria of ASC 280, and, therefore, it has one reportable segment, accounts receivable management, based on similarities among the operating units, including economic characteristics, the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production processes, the types or class of customer for their products and services, the methods used to distribute their products and services and the nature of the regulatory environment.

The following table shows the amount of revenue generated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and long-lived assets held at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, both for the U.S, the Company's country of domicile, and outside of the U.S. (amounts in thousands):



	As Of And For The				As Of And For The

Total	$	406,890	$	36,532	$	453,338	$	46,852

Revenues are attributed to countries based on the location of the related operations. Long-lived assets consist of net property and equipment. The Company reports revenues earned from its debt purchasing and collection activities and its fee-based services. It is impracticable for the Company to report further breakdowns of revenues from external customers by product or service.

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes to the consolidated financial statements necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, its consolidated income statements and statements of comprehensive income/(loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, its consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and its consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, have been included. The consolidated income statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 may not be indicative of future results. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017 (the "2016 Form 10-K").

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Balance at beginning of period	$	2,366,880		$	2,377,077		$	2,307,969		$	2,202,113
Acquisitions of finance receivables ⁽¹⁾	287,137			245,477			513,534			581,856

Balance at end of period	$	2,520,883		$	2,399,949		$	2,520,883		$	2,399,949


(1)	Acquisitions of finance receivables are net of buybacks and include certain capitalized acquisition related costs. They also include the acquisition date finance receivables portfolios that are acquired in connection with certain business acquisitions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company purchased finance receivables portfolios with a face value of $2.0 billion for $295.6 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased finance receivables portfolios with a face value of $2.4 billion for $249.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company purchased finance receivables portfolios with a face value of $3.7 billion for $523.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased finance receivables portfolios with a face value of $6.0 billion for $586.3 million. At June 30, 2017, the estimated remaining collections ("ERC") on the receivables purchased during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $470.4 million and $332.6 million, respectively. At June 30, 2017, the ERC on the receivables purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $830.6 million and $795.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, total ERC was $5.32 billion and $5.33 billion, respectively.

At the time of acquisition, the life of each pool is estimated based on projected amounts and timing of cash collections. Based upon current projections, cash collections expected to be applied to principal on finance receivables as of June 30, 2017 are estimated to be as follows for the 12 months in the periods ending June 30, (amounts in thousands):



2018	$	706,261
2019	584,919
2020	452,771
2021	355,903
2022	215,494
2023	102,993
2024	55,080
2025	22,033
2026	19,297
2027	6,132
Total ERC expected to be applied to principal	$	2,520,883

At June 30, 2017, the Company had aggregate net finance receivables balances in pools accounted for under the cost recovery method of $112.4 million; at December 31, 2016, the amount was $105.5 million.

Accretable yield represents the amount of income recognized on finance receivables the Company can expect to generate over the remaining life of its existing portfolios based on estimated future cash flows as of the balance sheet date. Additions represent the original expected accretable yield, on portfolios purchased during the period, to be earned by the Company. Net reclassifications from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield primarily result from the increase in the Company's estimate of future cash flows. When applicable, net reclassifications to nonaccretable difference from accretable yield result from the decrease in the Company's estimates of future cash flows and allowance charges that together exceed the increase in the Company's estimate of future cash flows.

3. Investments:

Investments consist of the following at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands):



	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Available-for-sale
Government bonds and mutual funds	$	3,659	$	2,138
Held-to-maturity
Securitized assets	56,379		51,407
Other investments
Private equity funds	16,400		14,998
Total investments	$	76,438	$	68,543

Available-for-Sale

Government bonds and mutual funds: The Company's investments in government bonds and mutual funds are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses are included in comprehensive income and reported in equity.

Held-to-Maturity

Investments in securitized assets: The Company holds a majority interest in a closed-end Polish investment fund. The certificates, which provide a preferred return based on the expected net income of the portfolios, are accounted for as a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets and stated at amortized cost. The Company has determined it has the ability and intent to hold these certificates until maturity, which occurs when the fund terminates or liquidates its assets. The preferred return is not a guaranteed return. Income is recognized under FASB ASC Topic 325-40, "Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets" ("ASC 325-40"). Prior to April 1, 2017, income was recognized using the effective yield method. Effective April 1, 2017, the Company determined that it could not reasonably forecast the timing of future cash flows and accordingly began using the cost recovery method to recognize income.

The underlying securities have both known principal repayment terms as well as unknown principal repayments due to potential borrower pre-payments. Accordingly, it is difficult to accurately predict the final maturity date of these investments.

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Revenues recognized on these investments are recorded in the Other Revenue line item in the consolidated income statement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, revenues recognized on these investments were $0 and $1.4 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, revenues recognized on these investments were $1.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Other Investments

Investments in private equity funds: Investments in private equity funds represent limited partnerships in which the Company has less than a 3% interest and are carried at cost. Distributions received from the partnerships are included in other revenue. Distributions received in excess of the Company's proportionate share of accumulated earnings are applied as a reduction of the cost of the investment. The aggregate carrying amount of cost-method investments for which cost exceeded fair value but for which an impairment loss was not recognized was $16.4 million and $15.0 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We evaluate the investments based on our estimated allocable share of the expected remaining cash flows of the funds as reported by the investment manager. Distributions received from these investments were $1.0 million and $3.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Distributions received from these investments were $0.3 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

North American Revolving Credit and Term Loan

On May 5, 2017, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement (as amended, and modified from time to time, the “North American Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, National Association, acting through its Canada branch, as the Canadian administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders named therein. The total credit facility under the North American Credit Agreement includes an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion (subject to compliance with a borrowing base and applicable debt covenants), which consists of (i) a fully-funded $450.0 million term loan, (ii) a $705.0 million domestic revolving credit facility, and (iii) a $50.0 million Canadian revolving credit facility. The facility includes an optional increase in commitments for a $45.0 million accordion feature (at the option of the lenders) and also provides for up to $25.0 million of letters of credit and a $25.0 million swingline loan sublimit that would reduce amounts available for borrowing. The term and revolving loans accrue interest, at the option of the Company, at either the base rate or the Eurodollar rate (as defined in the North American Credit Agreement) for the applicable term plus 2.50% per annum in the case of the Eurodollar rate loans and 1.50% in the case of the base rate loans. The base rate is the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the North American Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America's prime rate, or (c) the one month Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%. Canadian Prime Rate Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus 1.50%. The loans under the North American Credit Agreement mature as of May 5, 2022. As of June 30, 2017, the unused portion of the North American Credit Agreement was $544.3 million. Considering borrowing base restrictions, as of June 30, 2017, the amount available to be drawn was $483.9 million.

The North American Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets. The North American Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants and events of default, which are defined in the North American Credit Agreement, including the following:

•

borrowings under each of the domestic revolving loan facility and the Canadian revolving loan facility are subject to separate borrowing base calculations and may not exceed 35% of the ERC of all domestic or Canadian, as applicable, core eligible asset pools, plus 55% of ERC of domestic or Canadian, as applicable, insolvency eligible asset pools, plus 75% of domestic or Canadian, as applicable, eligible accounts receivable;

•	the consolidated senior secured leverage ratio cannot exceed 2.25 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter;


•	subject to no default or event of default, cash dividends and distributions during any fiscal year cannot exceed $20.0 million;

•	permitted acquisitions during any fiscal year cannot exceed $250.0 million (with a $50.0 million per year sublimit for permitted acquisitions by non-loan parties);


•	indebtedness in the form of senior, unsecured convertible notes or other unsecured financings cannot exceed $750.0 million in the aggregate (without respect to the 2020 Notes (as defined below));


•	the Company must maintain positive consolidated income from operations during any fiscal quarter; and


•	restrictions on changes in control.

The revolving credit facility also bears an unused line fee of 0.375% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.

European Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan

On October 23, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement with DNB Bank ASA for a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility (such agreement as later amended or modified, the "European Credit Agreement"). Under the terms of the European Credit Agreement, the credit facility includes an aggregate amount of approximately $1.2 billion (subject to the borrowing base), of which approximately $300.0 million is a term loan, accrues interest at the Interbank Offered Rate ("IBOR") plus 2.80%-3.90% under the revolving facility and 4.25%-4.50% under the term loan facility (as determined by the loan-to-value ratio ("LTV Ratio") as defined in the European Credit Agreement), bears an unused line fee, currently 1.26% per annum, of 35% of the margin, is payable monthly in arrears, and matures on February 19, 2021. The European Credit Agreement also includes an overdraft facility in the aggregate amount of $40.0 million (subject to the borrowing base), which accrues interest (per currency) at the daily rates as published by the facility agent, bears a facility line fee of 0.125% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and also matures February 19, 2021. As of June 30, 2017, the unused portion of the European Credit Agreement (including the overdraft facility) was $554.0 million. Considering borrowing base restrictions and other covenants, as of June 30, 2017, the amount available to be drawn under the European Credit Agreement (including the overdraft facility) was $174.7 million.

The European Credit Agreement is secured by the shares of most of the Company's European subsidiaries and all intercompany loan receivables in Europe. The European Credit Agreement also contains restrictive covenants and events of default,which are defined in the European Credit Agreement, including the following:


•	the LTV Ratio cannot exceed 75%;


•	the GIBD Ratio in Europe cannot exceed 3.25 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter;


•	interest bearing deposits in AK Nordic AB cannot exceed SEK 1,500,000,000; and


•	PRA Europe's cash collections must exceed 95% of Europe's ERC for the same set of portfolios, measured on a quarterly basis.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

On August 13, 2013, the Company completed the private offering of $287.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the " 2020 Notes"). The 2020 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated August 13, 2013 (the "2013 Indenture"), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The 2013 Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2020 Notes may be due and payable immediately. The 2020 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest on the 2020 Notes is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2014. Prior to February 1, 2020, the 2020 Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of specified events. On or after February 1, 2020, the 2020 Notes will be convertible at any time. The Company does not have the right to redeem the 2020 Notes prior to maturity. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2020 Notes to convert their notes had occurred.

The conversion rate for the 2020 Notes is initially 15.2172 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $65.72 per share of the Company's common stock, and is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances pursuant to the 2013 Indenture. Upon conversion, holders of the 2020 Notes will receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

election. The Company's current intent is to settle conversions through combination settlement (i.e., the 2020 Notes would be converted into cash up to the aggregate principal amount, and shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, for the remainder). As a result and in accordance with authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging and earnings per share, only the conversion spread is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive. Under such method, the settlement of the conversion spread has a dilutive effect when the average share price of the Company's common stock during any quarter exceeds $65.72.

The Company determined that the fair value of the 2020 Notes at the date of issuance was approximately $255.3 million, and designated the residual value of approximately $32.2 million as the equity component. Additionally, the Company allocated approximately $7.3 million of the $8.2 million 2020 Notes issuance cost as debt issuance cost and the remaining $0.9 million as equity issuance cost.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2023

On May 26, 2017, the Company completed the private offering of $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the " 2023 Notes" and, together with the 2020 Notes, the "Notes"). The 2023 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated May 26, 2017 (the "2017 Indenture"), between the Company and Regions Bank, as trustee. The 2017 Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2023 Notes may be due and payable immediately. The 2023 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2017. Prior to March 1, 2023, the 2023 Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of specified events. On or after March 1, 2023, the 2023 Notes will be convertible at any time. The Company has the right, at its election, to redeem all or any part of the outstanding notes at any time on or after June 1, 2021 for cash, but only if the last reported sale price (as defined in the 2017 Indenture) exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice. As of June 30, 2017, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2023 Notes to convert their notes had occurred.

The conversion rate for the 2023 Notes is initially 21.6275 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $46.24 per share of the Company's common stock, and is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances pursuant to the 2017 Indenture. Upon conversion, holders of the 2023 Notes will receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election. The Company's current intent is to settle conversions through combination settlement (i.e., the 2023 Notes would be converted into cash up to the aggregate principal amount, and shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, for the remainder). As a result and in accordance with authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging and earnings per share, only the conversion spread is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive. Under such method, the settlement of the conversion spread has a dilutive effect when the average share price of the Company's common stock during any quarter exceeds $46.24.

The Company determined that the fair value of the 2023 Notes at the date of issuance was approximately $298.8 million, and designated the residual value of approximately $46.2 million as the equity component. Additionally, the Company allocated approximately $8.3 million of the $9.6 million 2023 Notes issuance cost as debt issuance cost and the remaining $1.3 million as equity issuance cost.

The balances of the liability and equity components of the Notes outstanding were as follows as of the dates indicated (amounts in thousands):



	June 30, 2017			December 31, 2016
Liability component - principal amount	$	632,500		$	287,500

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net:

In connection with the Company's business acquisitions, the Company acquired certain tangible and intangible assets. Intangible assets resulting from these acquisitions include client and customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trademarks and technology. The Company performs an annual review of goodwill on October 1 of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist.

The following table represents the changes in goodwill for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Balance at beginning of period:
Goodwill	$	512,637		$	531,267		$	506,308		$	501,553

Balance at end of period:	$	516,165		$	544,337		$	516,165		$	544,337

The $22.8 million addition to goodwill during the three months ended June 30, 2016, was attributable to the acquisition of DTP S.A. ("DTP"). The goodwill recognized from the DTP acquisition is not expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

The $27.5 million addition to goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2016, was attributable to the acquisition of DTP during the second quarter and the acquisition of the assets of Recovery Management Systems Corporation ("RMSC") in the first quarter. The goodwill recognized from the RMSC acquisition is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

The change in accumulated impairment loss is related to the June 2017 sale of PRA Location Services, LLC ("PLS"), the goodwill of which was fully impaired during 2013.

6. Income Taxes:

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to the provision for income taxes and uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

For tax purposes, the Company utilized the cost recovery method of accounting through December 31, 2016. Under the cost recovery method, collections on finance receivables are applied first to principal to reduce the finance receivables balance to zero before taxable income is recognized. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examined the Company's 2005 through 2012 tax returns and asserted that tax revenue recognition using the cost recovery method did not clearly reflect taxable income and therefore issued Notices of Deficiency to the Company for tax years ended December 31, 2005 through 2012. In response to the notices, the Company filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court (the “Tax Court”) challenging the deficiencies and the Tax Court set the trial to begin on May 15, 2017. On May 10, 2017, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS in regards to the Notices of Deficiency. Under the settlement, both parties agreed that no amounts were due for years 2005 through 2012 and the Tax Court entered decisions

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

to that effect on June 22, 2017. Also, under the settlement, the Company will utilize a new tax accounting method to recognize net finance receivables revenue effective with tax year 2017. Under the new method, a portion of the annual collections amortize principal and the remaining portion is taxable income. The Company has submitted its calculation of the new method to the IRS for its review and acceptance, as required by the settlement. The Company will not be required to pay any interest or penalties related to the prior periods. However, the deferred tax liability related to the difference in timing between the new method and the cost recovery method will be incorporated evenly into the Company’s tax filings over four years with no associated interest.

At June 30, 2017, the tax years subject to examination by the major federal, state and international taxing jurisdictions are 2013 and subsequent years.

The Company intends for predominantly all foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested in its foreign operations. If foreign earnings were repatriated, the Company would need to accrue and pay taxes, although foreign tax credits may be available to partially reduce U.S. income taxes. The amount of cash on hand related to foreign operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings was $81.2 million and $73.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

7. Earnings per Share:

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders of PRA Group, Inc. by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS are computed using the same components as basic EPS with the denominator adjusted for the dilutive effect of the Notes and nonvested share awards, if dilutive. For the Notes, only the conversion spread is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, if dilutive. Under such method, the settlement of the conversion spread has a dilutive effect when the average share price of the Company's common stock during any quarter exceeds $65.72 for the 2020 Notes or $46.24 for the 2023 Notes, which did not occur during the respective periods from which the Notes were issued through June 30, 2017. Share-based awards that are contingent upon the attainment of performance goals are included in the computation of diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. The dilutive effect of nonvested shares is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes any proceeds that could be obtained upon the vesting of nonvested shares would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The assumed proceeds include the tax benefit that would be realized upon assumed exercise.

The following table provides a reconciliation between the computation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2017						2016
	Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc.		Weighted Average Common Shares	EPS			Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc.		Weighted Average Common Shares	EPS
Basic EPS	$	11,673	45,941	$	0.25		$	36,456	46,333	$	0.79
Dilutive effect of nonvested share awards			119	—					69	—
Diluted EPS	$	11,673	46,060	$	0.25		$	36,456	46,402	$	0.79

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017						2016
	Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc.		Weighted Average Common Shares	EPS			Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc.		Weighted Average Common Shares	EPS
Basic EPS	$	59,840	46,173	$	1.30		$	68,439	46,288	$	1.48
Dilutive effect of nonvested share awards			171	(0.01		)			99	—
Diluted EPS	$	59,840	46,344	$	1.29		$	68,439	46,387	$	1.48

There were no antidilutive options outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

8. Commitments and Contingencies:

Employment Agreements:

The Company has entered into employment agreements, most of which expire on December 31, 2017, with all of its U.S. executive officers and with several members of its U.S. senior management group. Such agreements provide for base salary

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

payments as well as bonuses that are based on the attainment of specific management goals. At June 30, 2017, estimated future compensation under these agreements was approximately $6.7 million. The agreements also contain confidentiality and non-compete provisions. Outside the U.S., employment agreements are in place with employees pursuant to local country regulations. Generally, these agreements do not have expiration dates and therefore it is impractical to estimate the amount of future compensation under these agreements. Accordingly, the future compensation under these agreements is not included in the $6.7 million total above.

Leases:

The Company is party to various operating leases with respect to its facilities and equipment. The future minimum lease payments at June 30, 2017 totaled approximately $45.5 million.

Forward Flow Agreements:

The Company is party to several forward flow agreements that allow for the purchase of nonperforming loans at pre-established prices. The maximum remaining amount to be purchased under forward flow agreements at June 30, 2017 was approximately $413.1 million.

Finance Receivables:

Certain agreements for the purchase of finance receivables portfolios contain provisions that may, in limited circumstances, require the Company to refund a portion or all of the collections subsequently received by the Company on particular accounts. The potential refunds as of June 30, 2017 was not considered to be significant.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters:

The Company is from time to time subject to routine legal claims, proceedings and regulatory matters, most of which are incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company initiates lawsuits against customers and is occasionally countersued by them in such actions. Also, customers, either individually, as members of a class action, or through a governmental entity on behalf of customers, may initiate litigation against the Company in which they allege that the Company has violated a state or federal law in the process of collecting on an account. From time to time, other types of lawsuits are brought against the Company. Additionally, the Company receives subpoenas and other requests or demands for information from regulators or governmental authorities who are investigating the Company's debt collection activities.

The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that such liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This determination is based upon currently available information for those proceedings in which the Company is involved, taking into account the Company's best estimate of such losses for those cases for which such estimates can be made. The Company's estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings (including the fact that many of them are currently in preliminary stages), the number of unresolved issues in many of the proceedings (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims), and the related uncertainty of the potential outcomes of these proceedings. In making determinations of the likely outcome of pending litigation, the Company considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the nature of the claims, the Company's experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative mechanisms, the matter's current status and the damages sought or demands made. Accordingly, the Company's estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses could be more than the current estimate.

The Company believes that the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amount accrued for its legal proceedings outstanding at June 30, 2017 was not material.

In certain legal proceedings, the Company may have recourse to insurance or third-party contractual indemnities to cover all or portions of its litigation expenses, judgments, or settlements. Loss estimates and accruals for potential liability related to legal proceedings are typically exclusive of potential recoveries, if any, under the Company's insurance policies or third-party indemnities. The Company had not recorded any potential recoveries under the Company's insurance policies or third-party indemnities as of June 30, 2017.

The matters described below fall outside of the normal parameters of the Company's routine legal proceedings.

Telephone Consumer Protection Act Litigation

As previously reported in the 2016 Form 10-K, the Company was named as defendant in a number of putative class action cases, each alleging that the Company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") by calling consumers' cellular

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

telephones without their prior express consent. In January 2016, the parties reached a settlement agreement in principle (the "Settlement Agreement") under which the parties agreed to seek court approval of class certification and the proposed settlement. As required by the Settlement Agreement, which received final court approval in December 2016, the Company paid $18 million in the second quarter of 2016 to resolve the matter.

Internal Revenue Service Audit

The IRS examined the Company's 2005 through 2012 tax returns and asserted that tax revenue recognition using the cost recovery method did not clearly reflect taxable income and therefore issued Notices of Deficiency to the Company for tax years ended December 31, 2005 through 2012. In response to the notices, the Company filed petitions in the Tax Court challenging the deficiencies and the Tax Court set the trial to begin on May 15, 2017. On May 10, 2017, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS in regards to the Notices of Deficiency. Under the settlement, both parties agreed that no amounts were due for years 2005 through 2012 and the Tax Court entered decisions to that effect on June 22, 2017. Also, under the settlement, the Company will utilize a new tax accounting method to recognize net finance receivables revenue effective with tax year 2017. Under the new method, a portion of the annual collections amortize principal and the remaining portion is taxable income. The Company has submitted its calculation of the new method to the IRS for its review and acceptance, as required by the settlement. The Company will not be required to pay any interest or penalties related to the prior periods. However, the deferred tax liability related to the difference in timing between the new method and the prior method will be incorporated evenly into the Company’s tax filings over four years with no associated interest.

Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC v. Guadalupe Mejia

As previously reported in the 2016 Form 10-K, the Company reached a settlement in principle in February 2017 to resolve this matter. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had fully accrued for the settlement amount, which it paid in April 2017.

9. Fair Value:

As defined by FASB ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also requires the consideration of differing levels of inputs in the determination of fair values.

Those levels of input are summarized as follows:


•	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Financial Instruments Not Required To Be Carried at Fair Value

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments" ("ASC 825"), the table below summarizes fair value estimates for the Company's financial instruments not required to be carried at fair value. The total of the fair value calculations presented does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The carrying amounts of the financial instruments in the following table are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands):



	June 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	92,756	$	92,756	$	94,287	$	94,287
Held-to-maturity investments	56,379		60,517		51,407		55,554
Other investments	16,400		10,841		14,998		12,573
Finance receivables, net	2,520,883		2,821,139		2,307,969		2,708,582
Financial liabilities:
Interest-bearing deposits	92,479		92,479		76,113		76,113
Revolving lines of credit	596,685		596,685		1,096,868		1,096,868
Term loans	754,986		754,986		430,764		430,764
Convertible senior notes	571,345		640,275		269,570		270,825

Disclosure of the estimated fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. The carrying amount and estimates of the fair value of the Company's debt obligations outlined above do not include any related debt issuance costs associated with the debt obligations. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments in the above table:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value and quoted prices for identical assets can be found in active markets. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs.

Held-to-maturity investments: Fair value of the Company's investment in the certificates of a closed-end Polish investment fund is estimated using proprietary pricing models that the Company utilizes to make portfolio purchase decisions. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of its held-to-maturity investments using Level 3 inputs as there is little observable market data available and management is required to use significant judgment in its estimates.

Other investments: This class of investments consists of private equity funds that invest primarily in loans and securities including single-family residential debt; corporate debt products; and financially-oriented, real-estate-rich and other operating companies in the Americas, Western Europe, and Japan. These investments are subject to certain restrictions regarding transfers and withdrawals. The investments can never be redeemed with the funds. Instead, the nature of the investments in this class is that distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund. The fair value of the Company's interest is valued by the fund managers; accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of these investments using Level 3 inputs. The investments are expected to be returned through distributions as a result of liquidations of the funds' underlying assets over 1 to 4 years.

Finance receivables, net: The Company computed the estimated fair value of these receivables using proprietary pricing models that the Company utilizes to make portfolio purchase decisions. Accordingly, the Company's fair value estimates use Level 3 inputs as there is limited observable market data available and management is required to use significant judgment in its estimates.

Interest-bearing deposits: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the deposits and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

Revolving lines of credit: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate periods and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

Term loans: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate periods and the observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

Convertible notes: The Notes are carried at historical cost, adjusted for the debt discount. The fair value estimates for the Notes incorporate quoted market prices which were obtained from secondary market broker quotes which were derived from a variety of inputs including client orders, information from their pricing vendors, modeling software, and actual trading prices when

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

they occur. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates. Furthermore, in the table above, carrying amount represents the portion of the Notes classified as debt, while estimated fair value pertains to the face amount of the Notes.

Financial Instruments Required To Be Carried At Fair Value

The carrying amounts in the following table are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands):



	Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2017
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Available-for-sale investments	$	3,659	$	—	$	—	$	3,659
Liabilities:
Interest rate swap contracts (recorded in accrued expenses)	—		1,616		—		1,616

	Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2016
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Available-for-sale investments	$	2,138	$	—	$	—	$	2,138
Liabilities:
Interest rate swap contracts (recorded in accrued expenses)	—		2,825		—		2,825

Available-for-sale investments: Fair value of the Company's investment in government bonds and mutual funds is estimated using quoted market prices. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 1 inputs.

Interest rate swap contracts: The interest rate swap contracts are carried at fair value which is determined by using industry standard valuation models. These models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves and other factors. Accordingly, the Company uses Level 2 inputs for its fair value estimates.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09") that updates the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance specifically excludes revenue received for servicing finance receivables. ASU 2014-09 also amends the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, with early application not permitted. The Company believes that the revenue generated by its subsidiary Claims Compensation Bureau, LLC ("CCB") is within the scope of this standard. Based on the Company's evaluation, the Company believes the new standard will not impact the accounting for revenue generated by CCB. The Company sold its PRA Government Services, LLC business in January 2017 and its PLS business in June 2017.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"), which provides new guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted only for certain provisions. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842) Section A - Leases: Amendments to the FASB Account Standards Codification" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has approximately $45.5 million in operating lease obligations as

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

disclosed in its contractual obligations table in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and will evaluate those contracts as well as other existing arrangements to determine if they qualify for lease accounting under the new standard. The Company does not plan to adopt the standard early.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-06, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments" ("ASU 2016-06"). Topic 815 requires that embedded derivatives be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as derivatives if certain criteria are met, including the "clearly and closely related" criterion. ASU 2016-06 clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The amendments in ASU 2016-06 apply to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. For public entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-06 in the first quarter of 2017 which had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). The guidance eliminates additional paid in capital ("APIC") pools and requires companies to recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also addresses the presentation of excess tax benefits and employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. Further, the new guidance eliminates the requirement to estimate forfeitures during the vesting period. Instead, companies can elect to account for actual forfeitures as they occur and record any previously unrecognized compensation expense for estimated forfeitures up to the period of adoption as a retrospective adjustment to beginning retained earnings. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Company prospectively adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017, which increased its provision for income taxes by $1.0 million as a result of the recognition of all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in its income statement. The ASU requires that excess tax benefits be presented as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, so with its prospective adoption, prior periods have not been restated. The Company also elected to use an estimated forfeiture rate, based on historical data, to record its share-based compensation expense, which is consistent with its previous accounting treatment with respect to forfeitures. None of the other provisions of the ASU had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years and allows for early adoption as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018. This ASU supersedes ASC Topic 310-30, which the Company currently follows to account for revenue on its finance receivables. This ASU could have a significant impact on how the Company measures and records net revenue on its finance receivables. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230)" ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 reduces diversity in practice of how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance clarifies the classification of cash activity related to debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity-method investments, and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The guidance also describes a predominance principle in which cash flows with aspects of more than one class that cannot be separated should be classified based on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flow. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, but requires all elements of the amendments to be adopted at once rather than individually. The new standard must be adopted using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"), which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method which is a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as

PRA Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU-2017-01, "Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805)" ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new guidance is expected to reduce the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated as businesses. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for certain types of transactions.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (ASU 2017-09"). ASU 2017-09 clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

11. Sale of Subsidiaries:

As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on its primary business, the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans, the Company decided in the fourth quarter of 2016 to sell its government services businesses: PRA Government Services, LLC; MuniServices, LLC; and PRA Professional Services, LLC. On January 24, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its government services businesses for $91.5 million in cash plus additional consideration for certain balance sheet items. The impact of the transaction was reported in the first quarter of 2017. The gain on sale was approximately $46.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company sold its vehicle location, skip tracing and collateral recovery business, PLS, for $4.5 million which resulted in a gain on sale of approximately $1.3 million.

The assets and liabilities of the businesses that were sold during 2017 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30, 2017
Other receivables, net	$	8,277
Property and equipment, net	4,559

Overview

We are a global financial and business services company with operations in the Americas and Europe. Our primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans. As discussed in Note 11, we sold our revenue administration, audit and revenue discovery/recovery business in January 2017 and our vehicle location, skip tracing and collateral recovery business in June 2017.

We are headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, and as of June 30, 2017 employ 4,512 full time equivalents. Our shares of common stock are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "PRAA."

Earnings Summary

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. was $11.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with $36.5 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, in the three months ended June 30, 2016. Total revenues decreased 12.3% to $200.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. Revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2017 consisted of $190.8 million in income recognized on finance receivables, net; $6.3 million in fee income; and $3.1 million in other revenue. Income recognized on finance receivables, net, in the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $13.2 million, or 6.5%, over the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a reduction in revenue generated by our Americas Insolvency portfolio which has declined due to lower volumes of purchasing in recent years. Cash collections were $374.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017, down 3.2%, or $12.5 million, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.

A summary of the sources of our revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is presented below (amounts in thousands):



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016
Cash collections	$	374,675		$	387,202
Principal amortization	(180,511		)	(170,274		)
Net allowance charges	(3,321		)	(12,920		)
Income recognized on finance receivables, net	190,843			204,008
Fee income	6,344			22,347
Other revenue	3,145			2,101
Total revenues	$	200,332		$	228,456

Operating expenses were $152.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $3.7 million or 2.4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we acquired finance receivables portfolios at a cost of $295.6 million and $249.5 million, respectively. In any period, we acquire nonperforming loans that can vary dramatically in their age, type and ultimate collectability. We may pay significantly different purchase prices relative to face value for purchased receivables within any period as a result of this quality fluctuation. In addition, market forces can increase or decrease pricing, irrespective of other quality fluctuations. As a result, the average purchase price paid relative to face value for any given period can fluctuate dramatically. However, regardless of the average purchase price, we intend to target a similar net income margin in pricing our portfolio acquisitions during any given period. Therefore, the price paid relative to face value is not necessarily indicative of profitability.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared To Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenues

Total revenues were $200.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $28.2 million, or 12.3%, compared to total revenues of $228.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Income Recognized on Finance Receivables, net

Income recognized on finance receivables, net was $190.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $13.2 million, or 6.5%, compared to income recognized on finance receivables, net, of $204.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Excluding allowance charges recorded during the respective three-month periods, income recognized on finance receivables decreased $22.7 million, or 10.5%. The decrease was due to a variety of factors. Elevated allowance charges incurred during 2016 reduced the income-earning principal balances of our portfolios, particularly the Americas Core portfolios. Income generated by our Americas Insolvency portfolios declined due primarily to lower volumes of purchasing in recent years. Income generated by our European portfolios declined due to a variety of factors, including changes in foreign currency rates and the impact of placing our Italian portfolios on the cost recovery method. These factors negatively impacting our finance receivables income were partially offset by lower net allowance charges, which were $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Cash collections were $374.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017, down $12.5 million, or 3.2%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in cash collections was mainly caused by a decrease in our Americas Insolvency portfolio collections, which decreased $14.6 million or 21.5%, due primarily to lower volumes of purchasing in recent years. Cash collections on fully amortized pools were $12.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017, up $4.6 million or 56.8%, compared to $8.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. Cash collections on pools on cost recovery were $8.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017, up $0.9 million or 12.2%, compared to $7.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Income recognized on finance receivables, net, is shown net of changes in valuation allowances which are recorded for significant decreases in expected cash flows or a change in timing of cash flows which would otherwise require a reduction in the stated yield on a pool of accounts. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded net allowance charges of $3.3 million. On our Americas Core and Insolvency portfolios, we recorded net allowance charges of $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. We also recorded net allowance charges of $0.9 million on our European portfolios. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded net allowance charges of $12.9 million. On our Americas Core portfolios, we recorded net allowance charges of $12.5 million. We also recorded allowance charges of $0.4 million on our European portfolios.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we reclassified $22.5 million to nonaccretable difference from accretable yield primarily due to decreased cash collection forecasts relating mainly to certain European pools. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we reclassified $91.0 million from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield primarily due to increased cash collection forecasts relating to pools acquired from 2009-2015.

Fee Income

Fee income was $6.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $16.0 million or 71.7%, compared to $22.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. This was primarily due to a decrease in fee income generated by our government services business, which we sold in January 2017, and a decrease in fee income generated by our class action claims recovery services and purchases business, whose revenues vary depending on the timing and outcome of individual class action settlements.

Other Revenue

Other revenue increased to $3.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in revenue generated by our investments.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $152.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $3.7 million or 2.4%, compared to operating expenses of $155.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Compensation and Employee Services

Compensation and employee services expenses were $66.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $2.0 million, or 3.1%, compared to compensation and employee services expenses of $64.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Compensation expense increased primarily as a result of larger average staff sizes, partially offset by a decrease resulting from the sale of our government services business, which occurred in January 2017. In the U.S., we have hired approximately 900 net new collectors since June 30, 2016, of which approximately 250 were hired during the second quarter of 2017. Total full-time equivalents increased to 4,512 as of June 30, 2017, compared to 3,816 as of June 30, 2016.

Legal Collection Expenses

Legal collection expenses represent costs paid to courts where a lawsuit is filed, contingent fees incurred for the cash collections generated by our independent third-party attorney network, and the cost of documents paid to sellers of nonperforming loans. Legal collection expenses were $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to legal collection expenses of $33.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal collection expenses paid to third-party attorneys, primarily as a result of a decrease in domestic external legal collections. Our costs paid to third-party attorneys were $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $3.1 million or 20.5% compared to $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Additionally, our costs paid to sellers of nonperforming loans for documents were $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1.4 million or 82.4% compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of sellers providing account documents to us when we purchase portfolios, mainly as a result of regulatory requirements. This was offset by an increase in costs paid to courts where a lawsuit is filed mainly related to the expansion of the number of accounts brought into the legal channel in Europe

during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our costs paid to courts were $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $1.8 million or 10.5% compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Agency Fees

Agency fees primarily represent third-party collection fees and costs paid to repossession agents to repossess vehicles. Agency fees were $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in third-party collection fees incurred by our foreign operations.

Outside Fees and Services

Outside fees and services expenses were $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $2.2 million, or 13.8%, compared to outside fees and services expenses of $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in corporate legal expenses and a $0.9 million increase in payment processing fees. This was offset by a $1.5 million decrease in consulting and other outside professional fees.

Communication

Communication expenses were $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1.1 million or 13.1%, compared to communication expenses of $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in postage expenses.

Rent and Occupancy

Rent and occupancy expenses were $3.4 million for the both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 18.0%, compared to depreciation and amortization expenses of $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of the sale of our government services business in January 2017.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses were $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2.7%, compared to other operating expenses of $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Gain on Sale of Subsidiaries

Gain on sale of subsidiaries was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. During June 2017, we sold our vehicle location, skip tracing and collateral recovery business which resulted in a gain of $1.3 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $22.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $1.9 million or 9.2%, compared to $20.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our average borrowing rate caused by the issuance of our new convertible senior notes, which we issued and sold on May 26, 2017, as well as increases in interest rates and unused line fees. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense caused by our interest rate swaps and a decrease in the average balances outstanding on our borrowings.

Net Foreign Currency Transaction (Losses)/Gains

Net foreign currency transaction losses were $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net foreign currency transaction gains of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. In any given period, our foreign entities conduct operations in currencies different from their functional currency which generate foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 37.6%, compared to provision for income taxes of $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a $29.6 million decrease in income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by an increase in our effective tax rate. During the three months ended June 30, 2017,

our effective tax rate was 43.7%, compared to 32.2% for full-year 2016. The increase was due primarily to changes in the mix of projected taxable income between tax jurisdictions and an increase in the estimated blended rate for U.S. state taxes. The blended rate for U.S. state taxes increase was due to changes in the mix of earnings, dispositions of subsidiaries, and other factors.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared To Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenues

Total revenues were $406.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $46.4 million, or 10.2%, compared to total revenues of $453.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Excluding allowance charges recorded during the respective six-month periods, income recognized on finance receivables decreased $42.0 million, or 9.7%. The decrease was due to a variety of factors. Elevated allowance charges incurred during 2016 reduced the income-earning principal balances of our portfolios, particularly the Americas Core portfolios. Income generated by our Americas Insolvency portfolios declined due primarily to lower volumes of purchasing in recent years. Income generated by our European portfolios declined due to a variety of factors, including changes in foreign currency rates and the impact of placing our Italian portfolios on the cost recovery method. These factors negatively impacting our finance receivables income were partially offset by lower net allowance charges, which were $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The decrease in cash collections was mainly caused by a decrease in our Americas Insolvency portfolio collections, which decreased $33.4 million or 24.5%, due primarily to lower volumes of purchasing in recent years. This was partially offset by increases in our Americas Core and European cash collections. Cash collections on fully amortized pools were $26.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, up $8.8 million or 50.6%, compared to $17.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Compensation expense increased primarily as a result of larger average staff sizes, partially offset by a decrease resulting from the sale of our government services business, which occurred in January 2017 and included $2.1 million in one-time compensation expense directly related to the sale. In the U.S., we have hired approximately 900 net new collectors since June 30, 2016, of which approximately 600 were hired during the first half of 2017.

The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal collection expenses paid to third-party attorneys, primarily as a result of a decrease in domestic external legal collections. Our costs paid to third-party attorneys were $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $4.8 million or 17.1% compared to $28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Our costs paid to courts were $38.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $6.3 million or 19.3% compared to $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Agency Fees

Agency fees were $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in third-party collection fees incurred by our foreign operations.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $8.6 million, or 25.6%, compared to provision for income taxes of $33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The increase was due primarily to changes in the mix of projected taxable income between tax jurisdictions caused in large part by gains on sales of subsidiaries and to an increase in the estimated blended rate for U.S. state taxes which was caused by changes in the mix of earnings, dispositions of subsidiaries, and other factors.

Supplemental Performance Data

Finance Receivables Portfolio Performance

The following tables show certain data related to our finance receivables portfolio. Certain adjustments, as noted in the footnotes to these tables, have been made to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on purchase price multiples.

These tables disclose our Americas and European Core and Insolvency portfolios. The accounts represented in the Insolvency tables are those portfolios of accounts that were in an insolvency status at the time of purchase. This contrasts with accounts in our Core portfolios that file for bankruptcy/insolvency protection after we purchase them, which continue to be tracked in their corresponding Core portfolio. Core customers sometimes file for bankruptcy/insolvency protection subsequent to our purchase of the related Core portfolio. When this occurs, we adjust our collection practices accordingly to comply with bankruptcy/insolvency rules and procedures; however, for accounting purposes, these accounts remain in the related Core portfolio. Conversely, Insolvency accounts may be dismissed voluntarily or involuntarily subsequent to our purchase of the related Insolvency portfolio. Dismissal occurs when the terms of the bankruptcy are not met by the petitioner. When this occurs, we are typically free to pursue collection outside of bankruptcy procedures; however, for accounting purposes, these accounts remain in the related Insolvency pool.

Purchase price multiples can vary over time due to a variety of factors, including pricing competition, supply levels, age of the receivables purchased, and changes in our operational efficiency. For example, increased pricing competition during the 2005 to 2008 period negatively impacted purchase price multiples of our Core portfolio compared to prior years. Conversely, during the 2009 to 2011 period, pricing disruptions occurred as a result of the economic downturn. This created unique and advantageous purchasing opportunities, particularly within the Insolvency market, relative to the prior four years. Purchase price multiples can also vary among types of finance receivables. For example, we generally incur lower collection costs on our Insolvency portfolio compared with our Core portfolio. This allows us, in general, to pay more for an Insolvency portfolio and experience lower purchase price multiples, while generating similar net income margins when compared with a Core portfolio.

When competition increases and/or supply decreases, pricing often becomes negatively impacted relative to expected collections, and yields tend to trend lower. The opposite tends to occur when competition decreases and/or supply increases.

Within a given portfolio type, to the extent that lower purchase price multiples are the result of more competitive pricing and lower yields, this will generally lead to higher amortization rates and lower profitability. As portfolio pricing becomes more favorable on a relative basis, our profitability will tend to increase. Profitability within given Core portfolio types may also be impacted by the age and quality of the receivables, which impact the cost to collect those accounts. Fresher accounts, for example, typically carry lower associated collection expenses, while older accounts and lower balance accounts typically carry higher costs and as a result require higher purchase price multiples to achieve the same net profitability as fresher accounts.

Revenue recognition under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 310-30, "Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality" ("ASC 310-30") is driven by estimates of total collections as well as the timing of those collections. We record new portfolio purchases based on our best estimate of the cash flows expected at acquisition, which reflects the uncertainties inherent in the purchase of nonperforming loans and the results of our underwriting process. Subsequent to the initial booking, as we gain collection experience and confidence with a pool of accounts, we regularly update ERC. These processes have tended to cause the ratio of ERC to purchase price for any given year of buying to gradually increase over time. As a result, our estimate of total collections has often increased as pools have aged. Thus, all factors being equal in terms of pricing, one would typically tend to see a higher collection to purchase price ratio from a pool of accounts that was six years from purchase than a pool that was just two years from purchase.

The numbers presented in the following tables represent gross cash collections and do not reflect any costs to collect; therefore, they may not represent relative profitability. Due to all the factors described above, readers should be cautious when making comparisons of purchase price multiples among periods and between types of receivables.

We hold a majority interest in a closed-end Polish investment fund that purchases and services finance receivables. Our investment in this fund is classified in our consolidated balance sheets as "Investments" and as such is not included in the following tables. The equivalent of the estimated remaining collections of the portfolios, expected to be received by us, was $63.8 million at June 30, 2017.

Portfolio Purchasing

The following graph shows the purchase price of our portfolios by year since 2007. It also includes the acquisition date finance receivable portfolios that were acquired through our various business acquisitions.

Our ability to profitably purchase and liquidate pools of Insolvency accounts provides diversity to our nonperforming loan purchasing business. Although we generally purchase Insolvency portfolios from many of the same consumer lenders from whom we acquire Core customer portfolios, the volumes and pricing characteristics as well as the competitors are different. Based upon market dynamics, the profitability of portfolios purchased in the Insolvency and Core markets may differ over time. We have found periods when Insolvency accounts were more profitable and other times when Core accounts were more profitable. When pricing becomes more competitive due to reduced portfolios available for purchase or increased demand from competitors entering or increasing their presence in the market, prices tend to go up, driving down the purchase price multiples and lowering the overall expected returns. When pricing relaxes due to market dynamics, purchase price multiples tend to increase, thereby increasing the expected returns.

In order to collect our Core portfolios, we generally need to employ relatively higher amounts of labor and incur additional collection costs to generate each dollar of cash collections as compared with Insolvency portfolios. In order to achieve acceptable levels of net return on investment (after direct expenses), we are generally targeting a higher Total Estimated Collections to purchase price multiple for Core portfolios. On the other hand, Insolvency accounts generate the majority of their cash collections through the efforts of insolvency courts and trustees. In this process, cash is remitted to our Company with no corresponding cost other than the cost of filing claims at the time of purchase, court fees associated with the filing of ownership claim transfers and general administrative costs for monitoring the progress of each account through the insolvency process. As a result, collection costs are much lower for us when liquidating a pool of Insolvency accounts as compared to a pool of Core accounts, but conversely the price we pay for Insolvency accounts is generally higher than Core accounts. We generally target similar net income margins for Insolvency and Core portfolios at any given point in the market cycles. However, because of the lower related collection costs, we can pay more for Insolvency portfolios, which causes the estimated total cash collections to purchase price multiples of Insolvency pools generally to be lower. In summary, compared to a similar investment in a pool of Core accounts, to the extent both pools had identical targeted net income margins, the Insolvency pool would be expected to generate less revenue, less direct expenses, similar operating income, and a higher operating margin. From time to time, especially in Europe, we purchase Core portfolios which consist of a majority of previously charged-off accounts which are now paying based on established payment plans. These portfolios have some of the same financial dynamics as Insolvency accounts, with lower collection costs and lower purchase price multiples.

As a result of these purchase price and collection cost dynamics, the mix of our portfolios impacts the relative profitability we realize in a given year. We minimize the impact of higher pricing, to the degree possible, with increased analytics used to score Core accounts and determine on which of those accounts to focus our collection efforts.

We utilize a long-term approach to collecting our receivables. This approach has historically caused us to realize significant cash collections and revenues from purchased portfolios of finance receivables years after they are originally acquired. As a result, we have in the past been able to temporarily reduce our level of current period acquisitions without a material negative current period impact on cash collections and revenue.

The following table displays our quarterly portfolio purchases for the periods indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We manage our liquidity to help provide access to sufficient funding to meet our business needs and financial obligations. As of June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $92.8 million. Of the cash and cash equivalent balance as of June 30, 2017, $81.2 million consisted of cash on hand related to foreign operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings. See the "Undistributed Earnings of Foreign Subsidiaries" section below for more information.

At June 30, 2017, we had approximately $1.9 billion in borrowings outstanding with $1.1 billion of availability under all our credit facilities (subject to the borrowing base and applicable debt covenants). Considering borrowing base restrictions, as of June 30, 2017, the amount available to be drawn was $658.6 million. Of the $1.1 billion of borrowing availability, $554.0 million was available under our European credit facility and $544.3 million was available under our North American credit facility. Of the $658.6 million available considering borrowing base restrictions, $174.7 million was available under our European credit facility and $483.9 million was available under our North American credit facility. The primary borrowing base under both credit facilities is ERC of the respective finance receivables portfolios. For more information, see Note 4.

An additional funding source is interest-bearing deposits generated in Europe. Per the terms of our European credit facility, we are permitted to obtain interest-bearing deposit funding of up to SEK 1.5 billion (approximately $177.4 million as of June 30, 2017). Interest-bearing deposits as of June 30, 2017 were $92.5 million.

We believe we were in compliance with the covenants of our material financing arrangements as of June 30, 2017.

As discussed in Note 11, we sold our government services business in January 2017 for approximately $91.5 million and our vehicle location, skip tracing and collateral recovery business in June 2017 for approximately $4.5 million.

We have the ability to slow the purchasing of finance receivables if necessary, with low impact to current year cash collections. For example, the portfolios purchased in 2016 generated $204.1 million of cash collections, representing only 13.7% of 2016 cash collections.

Contractual obligations over the next year are primarily related to debt maturities and purchase commitments. Our North American credit facility expires in May 2022. Our European credit facility expires in February 2021. Of our $755.0 million in long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2017, $10.0 million is due within one year.

We have in place forward flow commitments for the purchase of nonperforming loans over the next 12 months with a maximum purchase price of $413.1 million as of June 30, 2017. We may also enter into new or renewed flow commitments and close on spot transactions in addition to the aforementioned flow agreements.

For tax purposes, we utilized the cost recovery method of accounting through December 31, 2016. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examined our 2005 through 2012 tax returns and asserted that tax revenue recognition using the cost recovery

method did not clearly reflect taxable income and therefore issued Notices of Deficiency to us for tax years ended December 31, 2005 through 2012. In response to the notices, we filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court (the "Tax Court") challenging the deficiencies and the Tax Court set the trial to begin on May 15, 2017. On May 10, 2017, we reached a settlement with the IRS in regards to the Notices of Deficiency. Under the settlement, both parties agreed that no amounts were due for years 2005 through 2012 and the Tax Court entered decisions to that effect on June 22, 2017. Also, under the settlement, we will utilize a new tax accounting method to recognize net finance receivables revenue effective with tax year 2017. Under the new method, a portion of the annual collections amortize principal and the remaining portion is taxable income. We have submitted our calculation of the new method to the IRS for its review and acceptance, as required by the settlement. We will not be required to pay any interest or penalties related to the prior periods. However, the deferred tax liability related to the difference in timing between the new method and the prior method will be incorporated evenly into our tax filings over four years with no associated interest. Subject to acceptance by the IRS and based on current tax rates, we estimate the related tax payments to be $14.5 million per quarter.

On October 22, 2015, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to purchase up to $125.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. Repurchases depend on prevailing market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the second quarter of 2017, we repurchased approximately $44.9 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. At June 30, 2017, the maximum remaining purchase price for share repurchases under the program was approximately $0.1 million.

We believe that funds generated from operations and from cash collections on finance receivables, together with existing cash and available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to finance our operations, planned capital expenditures, forward flow purchase commitments, and additional portfolio purchasing during the next 12 months. Business acquisitions, adverse outcomes in pending litigation or higher than expected levels of portfolio purchasing could require additional financing from other sources.

Cash Flows Analysis

Our operating activities used cash of $14.4 million and provided cash of $83.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Key drivers of the change included cash collections, income tax payments, changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and interest payments. Cash collections recognized as revenue declined $25.1 million, due largely to a decline in cash collections of $17.0 million. Cash paid for income taxes increased $30.5 million, and included $22.2 million related to the sale of our government services business. Income tax payments also included $28.6 million related to payment of the deferred tax liability discussed earlier in this section. Accrued expenses decreased $12.2 million and $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Decreases in accrued expenses for both periods were due to various factors including settlement payments for the TCPA matter in 2016, and the Mejia and other matters in 2017. Other liabilities decreased $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to an increase of $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in other liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2017, was mainly due to a decrease in deferred payments for portfolio purchases. The increase in other liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, was mainly due to the timing of client remittances in our fee-based businesses. Interest payments increased $5.1 million due primarily to increases in interest rates and unused line fees.

Our investing activities used cash of $56.1 million and $242.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities is primarily driven by cash collections applied to principal on finance receivables. Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions of nonperforming loans. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the sale of subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which provided us with net proceeds of $93.0 million; a decrease in business acquisitions, which totaled $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $65.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016; and a decrease in the amounts of acquisitions of finance receivables, which totaled $514.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $538.1 million during six months ended June 30, 2016.

Our financing activities provided cash of $61.6 million and $168.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cash for financing activities is normally provided by draws on our lines of credit. Cash used in financing activities is primarily driven by principal payments on our lines of credit and long-term debt. The change in cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to a decline in the rate of growth of our borrowings, coupled with repurchases of our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net proceeds from borrowing activities was $118.4 million compared to $169.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Repurchases of our common stock totaled $44.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Undistributed Earnings of Foreign Subsidiaries

We intend to use predominantly all of our accumulated and future undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries to expand operations outside the U.S.; therefore, such undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income tax has been provided thereon. If management's intentions change and eligible undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are repatriated, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and withholding taxes payable to various foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. This could result in a higher effective tax rate in the period in which such a decision is made to repatriate accumulated or future undistributed foreign earnings. The amount of cash on hand related to foreign operations with indefinitely reinvested earnings was $81.2 million and $73.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our consolidated financial statements see Note 10.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2016 Form 10-K. Our significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition because they require that we use estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities.

Three of these policies are considered to be critical because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and because they require management to make judgments and estimates that are difficult, subjective, and complex regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.

We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact on our consolidated financial statements may be material.

Management has reviewed these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our board of directors.

Revenue Recognition - Finance Receivables

We account for our investment in finance receivables under the guidance of ASC 310-30. Revenue recognition for finance receivables accounted for under ASC 310-30 involves the use of estimates and the exercise of judgment on the part of management. These estimates include projections of the quantity and timing of future cash flows and economic lives of our pools of finance receivables. Significant changes in such estimates could result in increased revenue or decreased revenue through the incurrence of allowance charges.

We implement the accounting for income recognized on finance receivables under ASC 310-30 as follows:

We create each accounting pool using our projections of estimated cash flows and expected economic life. We then compute the effective yield that fully amortizes the pool over a reasonable expectation of its economic life based on the current projections of estimated cash flows. As actual cash flow results are recorded, we balance those results to the data contained in our proprietary models to ensure accuracy, then review each pool watching for trends, actual performance versus projections and curve shape (a graphical depiction of the timing of cash flows), regularly re-forecasting future cash flows utilizing our statistical models. The review process is primarily performed by our finance staff; however, our operational and statistical staff are also involved, providing updated statistical input and cash projections to the finance staff. Significant judgment is used in evaluating whether overperformance is due to an increase in projected cash flows or an acceleration of cash flows (a timing difference). If determined to be a significant increase in expected cash flows, we will recognize the effect of the increase prospectively first through an adjustment to any previously recognized valuation allowance for that pool and then through an increase in yield. If the overperformance is determined to be due to a timing difference, we will: a) adjust estimated future cash flows downward which effectively extends the amortization period to fall within a reasonable expectation of the pool's economic life; b) adjust future cash flow projections as noted previously coupled with an increase in yield in order for the amortization period to fall within a reasonable expectation of the pool's economic life; or c) take no action at all if the amortization period falls within a reasonable expectation of the pool's expected economic life. To the extent there is underperformance, we will record an allowance if the underperformance is significant and causes us to significantly decrease estimated future cash flows or delay the expected timing of the cash flows, or take no action if the pool's amortization period is reasonable and falls within the currently projected economic life.

Valuation of Acquired Intangibles and Goodwill

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"), we amortize intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill, pursuant to ASC 350, is not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually and more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Goodwill is reviewed for potential impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment either under the qualitative assessment option or the two-step test approach depending on facts and circumstances of a reporting unit, including the excess of fair value over carrying amount in the last valuation or changes in business environment. If we qualitatively determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. Otherwise, goodwill is evaluated for impairment using the two-step test, where the carrying amount of a reporting unit is compared to its fair value in Step 1; if the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, Step 2 is unnecessary. If the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, this could indicate potential impairment and Step 2 of the goodwill evaluation process is required to determine if goodwill is impaired and to measure the amount of impairment loss to recognize, if any. When Step 2 is necessary, the fair value of individual assets and liabilities is determined using valuations (which in some cases may be based in part on third-party valuation reports), or other observable sources of fair value, as appropriate. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.

We determine the fair value of a reporting unit by applying the approaches prescribed under the fair value measurement accounting framework: the income approach and the market approach. Depending on the availability of public data and suitable comparables, we may or may not use the market approach or we may emphasize the results from the approach differently. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows and a residual terminal value. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates, operating margins, necessary working capital, and capital expenditure requirements, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on prices and other relevant market transactions involving comparable publicly-traded companies with operating and investment characteristics similar to the reporting unit.

Income Taxes

We are subject to the income tax laws of the various jurisdictions in which we operate, including U.S. federal, state, local, and international jurisdictions. These tax laws are complex and are subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant government taxing authorities. When determining our domestic and foreign income tax expense, we must make judgments about the application of these inherently complex laws.

We follow the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to the provision for income taxes and uncertainty in income taxes. Accordingly, we record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. In accordance with ASC 740, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with the guidance is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: the enterprise determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the enterprise should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

In the event that all or part of the deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, a valuation allowance would be established and charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. If we subsequently realize deferred tax assets that were previously determined to be unrealizable, the respective valuation allowance would be reversed, resulting in a positive adjustment to earnings in the period such determination is made. The establishment or release of a valuation allowance does not have an impact on cash, nor does such an allowance preclude the use of loss carry-forwards or other deferred tax assets in future periods. The calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with our expectations could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Our international operations require the use of material estimates and interpretations of complex tax laws in multiple jurisdictions, and increases the complexity of our accounting for income taxes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk from outstanding borrowings on our variable rate credit facilities. As such, our consolidated financial results are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the market rate of interest. We assess this interest rate risk by estimating the increase or decrease in interest expense that would occur due to a change in short-term interest rates. The borrowings on our variable rate credit facilities were approximately $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2017. Assuming a 50 basis point decrease in interest rates, for example, interest expense over the following 12 months would decrease by an estimated $5.0 million. Assuming a 50 basis point increase in interest rates, interest expense over the following 12 months would increase by an estimated $5.0 million.

To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of our floating rate financing arrangements. The terms of the interest rate swap agreements require us to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. For the majority of our floating rate financing arrangements, we have no interest rate swap agreements in place. The sensitivity calculations above consider the impact of our interest rate swap agreements.

The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was a net liability of $1.6 million at June 30, 2017. A hypothetical 50 basis point decrease in interest rates would cause a decrease in the estimated fair value of our interest rate swap agreements and the resulting estimated fair value would be a liability of $7.8 million at June 30, 2017. Conversely, a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates would cause an increase in the estimated fair value of our interest rate swap agreements and the resulting estimated fair value would be an asset of $4.0 million at June 30, 2017.

Currency Exchange Risk

We operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including the European Union euro, the Great British pound, the Canadian dollar, Norwegian kroner, Swiss franc, Danish kroner, Swedish kroner, Polish zloty, and Brazilian real. In the three months ended June 30, 2017, we generated $65.8 million of revenues from operations outside the U.S. and used eight functional currencies. Weakness in one particular currency might be offset by strength in other currencies over time.

As a result of our international operations, fluctuations in foreign currencies could cause us to incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses, and could adversely affect our comprehensive income and stockholders' equity. Additionally, our reported financial results could change from period to period due solely to fluctuations between currencies.

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses are primarily the result of the re-measurement of account balances in certain currencies into an entity's functional currency. Foreign currency gains and losses are included as a component of other income and (expense) in our consolidated income statements.

When an entity's functional currency is different than the reporting currency of its parent, foreign currency translation adjustments may occur. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as a component of equity in our consolidated balance sheets.

We have taken measures to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We have restructured our European operations so that portfolio ownership and collections generally occur within the same entity. Our European credit facility is a multi-currency facility, allowing us to better match funding and portfolio investments by currency. We strive to maintain the distribution of our European borrowings within defined thresholds based on the currency composition of our finance receivables portfolios. When those thresholds are exceeded, we engage in foreign exchange spot transactions to mitigate our risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
